Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

books are the little prince, the man who mistook his wife for a hat, the twilight of the idols, ariel, franny and zooey, nine stories, the wasteland, a farewell to arms, the unconscious god, trauma and human existence. i read lots of heidegger of late and that is tons of fun.

movies are bottle rocket and other wes anderson movies and to tell you the truth i often get yelled at for never seeing this movie or that movie. i think i have seen like 7 movies in my life. summer rental with john candy.

musics are joan of arc, (i saw cap'n jazz the other day and got a t-shirt), iron and wine, modest mouse, the roadside graves, smoking popes, sun kil moon, the weakerthans, bright eyes, band of horses, taken by trees, owen, rachel's, the postal service, still life, sunny day real estate, the velvet underground, azure ray, i don't know... crud is a cult. the locust.
